“…The female reproductive system plays a critical role in ovulation, fertilization, pregnancy, childbirth, promoting growth, as well as developing and maintaining female secondary sexual characteristics [ 35 ]. It consists mainly of the internal genitalia, including the vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries, and the vulva.…”

Unintended pregnancy is a global issue with serious ramifications for women, their families, and society, including abortion, infertility, and maternal death. Although existing contraceptive strategies have been widely used in people's lives, there have not been satisfactory feedbacks due to low contraceptive efficacy and related side effects (e.g., decreased sexuality, menstrual cycle disorder, and even lifelong infertility). In recent years, biomaterials-based long-acting reversible contraception has received increasing attention from the viewpoint of fundamental research and practical applications mainly owing to improved delivery routes and controlled drug delivery. This review summarizes recent progress in advanced biomaterials for long-acting reversible contraception via various delivery routes, including subcutaneous implant, transdermal patch, oral administration, vaginal ring, intrauterine device, fallopian tube occlusion, vas deferens contraception, and Intravenous administration. In addition, biomaterials, especially nanomaterials, still need to be improved and prospects for the future in contraception are mentioned. Graphical Abstract

The reproductive system of the living organism is the biological system made up of all the anatomical organs involved in sexual reproduction. This system involves the interaction of several fluids and hormones to regulate the functions of the reproductive system. The ultimate goal of the reproductive system is to successfully produce gametes (sperms and oocytes) to attain a combination of genetic material between two individuals, which allows for the possibility of greater genetic fitness of the offspring. In this chapter, we introduce the physiological process of gonadal development, male, and female reproductive system, embryo formation, and development to give the reader the basic concepts for application in the field of assisted reproductive techniques.
